E One foot on the mountain, the other one in the stream
All kinds of trouble and I'm caught in between
I can't A change my way of doin'; A7 it's gonna G lay like it fa E lls
If I can't B7 go down rockin', I ain't gonna g A7 o down at all E
Verse 2:
E She was a child of acquired money, had that silver spoon
I knew she had a little wild streak and needed breathing room
If I can't be your sugar daddy, I won't be your Neanderthal
If I can't go down rockin', I ain't gonna go down at all
CHORUS:
E Spent a little time in the congregation, that's how I was raised
Spent a little time in trouble, but I do have my ways
A A7 Won't be your G Neanderth E al
................ B7 ............................... A7 ............... E ...
Verse 3:
E Tonight I had good intentions of crawling into bed
Resting my body and clearing my head
But, just about midnight, I got that telephone call
If I can't go down rockin', I ain't gonna go down at all
CHORUS:
E Spent a little time in the congregation, that's how I was raised
Spent a little time in trouble, but I do have my ways
... A ............................. A7 ......... G ............. E
If I can't go down rockin', I ain't gonna go down at all
If I can' B7 t go down rockin', I ain't gonn A7 a go down at E
